From the reviews

I just absolutely love it here!!! It’s hands down best yoga studio in town. As someone recovered from an eating disorder it has been a safe space for me to move my body, while learning to listen to it, and not judge but notice what it’s telling me.

★★★★★ — Lydia, Apr 2025

Yogast8 has become a consistent part of my routine, and I can’t get enough! The classes are challenging but accessible, with instructors who offer thoughtful cues and adjustments without being overbearing. I’m never bored and have learned to trust myself and understand my limits.

★★★★★ — Rebecca, Apr 2025

I am fairly new to this yoga studio. The staff are all very helpful, kind, and great sense of humor. Each class has been creative and fulfilling both physically and mentally. Very nice facilities such as showers and aftercare products (deodorant, hair dryers, towels,).

★★★★★ — Erica, Apr 2025

Yogast8 has truly changed my life! The teachers here are incredible, and there's a class for everyone. The sense of community is unmatched, and I am beyond grateful for this place.

Teacher training at YOGAST8

YOGAST8 comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.

Your first hot yoga class at YOGAST8

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes — there are showers on site; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
